Escape to the Forest of Arden with us this summer!
From July 10 to August 2, Fenix Theatre Company invites you to experience its 17th annual summer tradition of free Shakespeare in Deering Oaks Park with a high-energy, heart-filled production of Shakespeare's As You Like It. This professional staging of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy is infused with beloved pop songs spanning 6 decades—from the 1960s to the 2010s— adding a fresh, toe-tapping twist to a timeless tale.

​As You Like It defies gender roles and expectations, and dares us to imagine a better world: one where empathy leads the way and everyone can find where they truly belong. Bring a blanket, grab your friends, and join us under the trees for a night of Shakespeare like you’ve never seen it before!

A truly unique concert experience. The City of Westbrook closes Vallée Square to traffic for the weeks of the shows allowing the stage to be placed in the street. This placement provides great acoustics and a really intimate feel for the guests. On top of that, the concert series is set up right behind Westbrook’s iconic river walk with a view of the waterfalls. These features make the Vallée Square Concert series much different than other Summer concerts and brings more and more visitors to Westbrook each year.

As always, all shows are free to the public. All shows begin at 7:00, but we encourage visitors to come early to grab a bite to eat at one of the downtown restaurants. The concert series venue has a bar with a variety of beverages that can be purchased throughout the time of the event.

Experience the sound and shadows of the evening, and watch the moonbeams of the Full Moon dance on Pushaw Stream. If we're lucky we may also see or hear nocturnal animals! This is truly a spectacular experience.

Hirundo will provide paddles, canoes/kayaks, and life jackets but you are free to bring your own as well. All exprience levels are welcome! Beginners Welcome!

Tickets:

$18/adult (age 16 and up)

$8 for a child (age 8 -15)

Please reserve your spot by purchasing a ticket. Tickets are limited .

Hike to one of Acadia’s iconic summits AND help Acadia National Park’s efforts to restore native vegetation!

Acadia National Park, in collaboration with Friends of Acadia and Schoodic Institute, invites tenacious hikers to bring bags of soil to the summits of Penobscot and Sargent Mountains. You’ll get to choose how much soil you’ll carry – carrying as little as five pounds (about the size of a large freezer ziplock bag) is a huge help! This soil is integral to the ongoing summit restoration efforts in Acadia National Park.
